4.2.9  Other functions of the octave shift buttons
After power-up, the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons are set to their initial state 

(see Table 3.1 on page 7). In addition to the program change and octave shift 

functions already described, you can assign a few special functions to the 

OCTAVE SHIFT buttons in ASSIGN mode:
a)  Transposition by single half-tones
b)  Scrolling in program libraries
c)  Various controller functions:

a)  Transposition by single semitones:
1)  Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)  Press the TRANSP +/- key.
3)  Release the ASSIGN button.
4)  Confirm your selection with ENTER. To discard your assignments either press 

the CANCEL key or the ASSIGN button again.

Pressing the right-hand button transposes the pitch up by one half-tone, 

pressing the left-hand button transposes the pitch down by one semitone. 

Pressing both buttons simultaneously cancels any transposition made before.

b)  Scrolling in program libraries:
Most sound modules allow you to store presets in a separate bank, often referred 

to as user bank. If the order of the songs to be played during a gig is fixed, 

you can use the user bank to store all sounds used in concert one after the other 

and concentrate entirely on your performance. Thanks to the OCTAVE SHIFT 

buttons you don’t have to bother any more with searching sounds in your various 

sound modules.
1)  Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)  Press the PROG +/- key.
3)  Release the ASSIGN button.
4)  Confirm your selection with ENTER. To discard your assignments either press 

the CANCEL key or the ASSIGN button again.

Pressing the right-hand OCTAVE SHIFT button switches the presets up by one 

number on the external sound module, pressing the left-hand OCTAVE SHIFT 

button switches the presets down by one number. Pressing both buttons 

simultaneously switches back to preset 0 in the current bank.
Remember to assign the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to an individual MIDI channel if 

you do not want to use the GLOBAL CHANNEL (see Chapter 4.2.2).

c)  Various controller functions:
Please note that the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons generate switch controller 

information if assigned to a controller. They always generate a value of 0 or 127.

1)  Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)  Press the one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to which you want to assign 

a controller.
